Oxygen deficiency is the major cause of cell death at a large range of pathologies. The neurons are among body cells, which are the most sensitive to lack of oxygen, concerning the problem of brain hypoxia retains emergency medical and biological significance. The purpose of research is studying the impact of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on the functional activity of dissociated cultures of hippocampus in modeling normobaric hypoxia. In the in-vitro study we used dissociated hippocampal cell cultures derived from CBA mice 18 day embryos.
